    Nueva Ecija, the Philippines (photographs , video still)??????NEWS COPY - WITH VIDEO AND PICTURES??????A beautiful Filipina teenager's face has been ravaged by a mystery illness that started as a pimple. Mary Ann Regacho, 17, noticed a blackhead pop out on the side of her nose last year in Nueva Ecija, the Philippines. At first, she thought the stubborn pimple breaking out on her face for weeks was only due to hormonal issues. She gave birth to a baby boy last year at age 16 and thought the pimples were normal. However, she squeezed the spot and a few days later it started to become painful until it started to spread across her face ''like a balloon inflating''. The young mother of one tried to cure the infection with herbal medicines at home but without success. Speaking this week, she said the growth has spread across the bridge of her nose, her cheeks and forehead. Mary said: ''I thought it was only a common pimple, but it hurt so much I could not sleep at night. I tried everything to cure it but nothing worked. ''Now, I feel like my face will never be the same again.'' Her husband, Albert Sales, works part-time in a neighbor???s farm without a steady income, so she could not afford a hospital or medicine. Now, the lump has almost covered her face and affecting her vision as it had reached the corner of her eyes. After almost a year of enduring the painful mass, she went to the hospital to have it checked. However, the small provincial hospital did not have the proper equipment to diagnose her mysterious disease so they had to transfer to a bigger facility. Unable to pay for medical bills, the worried husband Albert has now appealed to good Samaritans for help. In a video recorded by their aunt, Albert can be heard saying: ''I want to ask kind people for donations so we can finally send my wife to a hospital. ''We only earn enough for ourselves and our one-year-old baby so I can't afford her medical bills.''

    A teenage mum is beginning to go blind after squeezing a relatively safe area on her nose.

    Mary Ann Regacho, 17, got extreme facial swelling from a secret disease in 2015, and it won’t disappear.

    The teen, from Nueva Ecija in the Philippines, initially believed the development was an easy area triggered by hormonal agents after delivering.

    ‘I thought it was only a common pimple, but it hurt so much I could not sleep at night. I tried everything to cure it but nothing worked,’ she stated.

    ‘Now, I feel like my face will never be the same again.’

    Mary, mum to an infant kid, squeezed the area and stated it grew unpleasant days later on prior to it began spreading out throughout her face.

    Now the development has actually mainly taken control of her face, and has actually begun to result in loss of sight as it reaches her eyes.

    She stated it seems like ‘a balloon inflating’.

    Mary went to medical facility to get the swelling inspected, and was moved to a larger medical facility for more examination.

    But her other half Albert Sales, who deals with a neighbour’s farm, states he is not able to manage treatment or medication to assist his better half.

    He has actually now made a plea for assistance, stating in a video: ‘I wish to ask kind individuals for contributions so we can lastly send my better half to a healthcare facility.

    ‘We only earn enough for ourselves and our one-year-old baby so I can’t manage her medical costs.’
